There is nothing like a run of a few victories to put you in a good mood.
United finished last season terribly and playing some fairly dour football. After all of the huffing and puffing about a decent summers rest and a proper pre-season for Rooney at last I suppose the continuation of that poor form into this year was not something that we expected.
Yet continue it did and then of course Wayne and Christiano ruled themselves out from the off. I am right in saying, however, that we have created more scoring opportunities than anybody else so far this season and even though we haven’t been putting them away yet class will tell eventually.
The last three games have seen us win one nil from headed goals, not the most complicated way to do things but its nice to know we can get the basics right too.Liverpool and Chelsea have both already faltered a touch and it could well be Christmas before we can decide who the genuine contenders are this season. I am confident that we will be one of them.
It is also telling that Rooney is back, incredibly, already, and I for one hadn’t even noticed that he had gone.
